What's Holding Back "High Performance Green Buildings"?
3 Common Roadblocks to Achieving Project Performance 1- The Project Delivery Model: This is not to say that all three primary Delivery Models can't achieve a "High Performance" result. It's that the risk/cost associated with various Project Delivery Models creates a barrier to High Performance by jeopardizing the project's budget. The proof of this is evident in the inventory of High Performance Green Buildings built over the past several years. They are the exception, not the rule. All things being equal, no owner would avoid the creation of a facility that reduces their energy costs by up to 50%, unless their budget "forbids" it.
